The Manual of the Paymaster's Department, United

MANUAL OF THE PAYMASTER'S DEPARTMENT, UNITED STATES
MARINE CORPS.
2.
1. This publication is issued for the instruction and guidance of officers and en-
listed men Marine Corps approving, forwarding, preparing, and rendering

of the
vouchers of every description to the officers of the Paymaster's Department of the
United States Marine Corps. Such officers and men will thoroughly acquaint them-
selves with all its provisions in order that delays and increased work incident to the
improper and incomplete preparation and rendition of vouchers may be avoided.
Where these instructions and those printed on the various forms issued by the Pay-
master's Department are silent or incomplete as to any feature connected with the
duties of that department, such instructions as may be issued from time to time by
the officer in charge of the Paymaster's Department will govern.
2. The statements contained herein concerning the pay and allowances due under
various circumstances are based on the laws, regulations, and decisions in force at
the time of the publication of the manual. The laws and regulations governing such
matters are subject to frequent change, and the decisions are of ten controlled by ,
apparently obsciu-e points occurring in the specific case under consideration. This
book should therefore be used, in determining the proper pay and allowances due
under certain circumstances, solely as a guide to present rulings, reference being made
for authority in particular cases to the laws, regulations, and decisions in force when
such cases arise. Where doubt exists upon any point, information should be re-
quested of the paymaster carrying the rolls, who will furnish the information desired,
or refer the question to higher authority for decision.
3. The use of red ink on vouchers is strictly prohibited except for the entry of
notations and corrections by officers of the Paymaster's Department.
ABSENCE WITHOUT LEAVE.

4. Checkage for absence without leave will include, in addition to the checkage
amount of actual pay due for the period, all forms of extra pay which includes
for the
pay for good-conduct medals or bars, for qualification as marksman, sharpshooter, or
expert rifleman, for pay as cook, messman, or mess sergeant, signalman or gun pointer,
less the amount of hospital fund for the period of absence. The total amount of
checkages for absence without leave will be entered on the pay roll in the column
"Miscellaneous checkages," noting over such checkage the number of days for
which checked, i. e., " —
days A. W. 0. L.," total credit being given on the credit
side of the pay roll for the period for which settlement is made
6. Where a checkage is made on the pay roll on account of absence without leave,

absence, as follows: "A. W. O. L., from 6.05 a. m., June 15, 1911, to 7.25 a. m.,
June 20, 1911, five days." Where a man is still absent when the pay roll is sub-
mitted, notation of such fact will be made under "Remarks.''

tled to pay for such period.

b ABSENCE WITHOUT LEAVE.
7. Officers or enlisted men in arrest and confinement by the civil authorities

will receive no pay for such absence; but if released without trial or after trial and
acquittal, their right to such pay is restored. See par. 54.

be forfeited.
9. One-thirtieth of one month's pay will be deducted for every day of unauthor-
ized absence in a month, including the 31st, except that an absence covering an
entire month, regardless of the actual number of days in the month, will result in
the loss of one month's pay and no more.
10. "The pay of his command without leave, or after
any marine absent from
his leave has expired, forone connected period of twenty-four hours or more, shall
be checked against his account for the time he is so absent; such absence being
computed from the date (inclusive) that the unauthorized absence begins to the
date (exclusive) of the man's return to military control. Disconnected periods of
unauthorized absence of less than twenty-four hours will not be checked." (Art.
1449, N. R., 1909.)
11. Pay day of departure is forfeited and pay for the day of return is
for the
credited, but for an absence from 12 (midnight), August 6, to 2.30 p. m., August
8, 1911, one day's pay should be checked, and for an absence from 6.30 a. m., August
6, to 12 (midnight), August 8, 1911, three days' pay should be checked. See par. 49.
12. All checkages for absence without leave should be made on the pay roll for
the month in which the absence occurred. See par. 50.
13. Unauthorized absence on February 28 (or February 29 in a leap year) will
result in the loss of one day's pay.
14. All absence without leave will be entered in the space provided therefor on
the reverse of the statement closing account for settlement (N. M. C. No. 90) and where
checkage for such absence is to be made on discharge entry as to the date and hour
of departure and return will be entered under "Remarks" on said form.
15. Where credits are given for back pay for qualifications in markmanship,
details as messmen, etc., there will be entered under "Remarks" on pay rolls a
notation as to the unauthorized absence during the period for which credit is claimed,
or the statement "no abs. W. 0. L. during period." See par. 108.
16. In giving back credit for pay as mess sergeants, cooks, or messmen, absences
of 24 or more consecutive hours, whether authorized or unauthorized, should be entered
under "Remarks" and no credit for additional pay for such days of absence should
be given. Similarly if for any part of the period for which the credit is to be given
the man in question failed, for any reason, actually to perform the duty, no credit
for the back pay for such days will be given. See pars. 112 and 182.
ADVANCE PAY.
17. Marine Corps ordered to sea, to shore duty outside the conti-
Officers of the
nental limit of the United States, or to Alaska, may, upon application made upon the
prescribed form to any paymaster of the Marine Corps, or in person to a purchasing
pay officer of the Navy, draw, in a single payment, an advance not exceeding three
months' pay, provided they have not received an advance of pay vrithin the previous
twelve months. Officers returning from such duty may similarly draw, at the time
•
of detachment therefrom, not exceeding two months' advance pay, in the discretion
of the senior officer present, whose approval should appear on the reverse of vouchers
in such cases. Applications for advance pay must be made within one montJi of
receipt of orders, and the original orders with all indorsements, and certified copies,
in duplicate, thereof, must be submitted to the paymaster with the application.
Such advances do not prevent the drawing of pay to the date of sailing, nor do they
prevent the registration of allotments.
18. Officers receiving advance pay must notify the pay officer taking up their
accounts of such advance.—»Sec arU. 1088, 1089, and 1095, N. R. 1909.

O ALLOTMENTS.
24;. Allotments will be stopped, when practicable, upon transfer to a shore station
within the continental limits of the United, States, but not upon transfer to a hospital
or receiving ship. Upon discharge at a distant station prior to the expiration of
enlistment, the allotment should be checked for as many months -in advance as it
will probably require for the request for stoppage to reach the Navy Allotment Office;
Washington, D. C, otherwise cable should be used. The request for stoppage of an
allotment should reach the Navy Allotment Office not later than the 15th of the
month following the last month charged unless loss to the grantor might occur.
25. Allotments are charged in full on the first, and are payable on the last, day of
each month, except as noted in Bureau Memoranda No. 101, page 1235.
26. Correspondence regarding allotments that have been granted must be with
the Navy Allotment Ofiice, Washington, D. C. This does not apply to requests for
stoppage, which should go to the paymaster carrying the accounts of the grantor.
27. In naming the payee great care must be taken to register the name and address
exactly as it should be spelled, and the prefixes "Mr.," "Mrs.," "Miss," etc., should
in no case be used.
28. In the space provided for "Pay No." will be entered the number as shown on
the transfer roll, or roll of the post upon which the grantor last appeared. The com-
manding officer should be careful to prevent grantors from allotting so much of their
pay as would interfere with the authorized checkage of one-third of one month's pay
for post exchange, or for other checkages, such as loss of accouterments, etc.
29. The date of first payment of the allotment will be made sufficiently remote
to allow notice to reach the Navy Allotment Office not later than the 15th of the month
for which first payment is made.
30 When
. men are approved by commanding officers ashore,
allotments of enlisted
or afloat they will at once be fully described in the form provided in the "service
record books" of the.men concerned.
31 . In no case will an allotment be registered for a period of less than three months.
32. Payments on account of allotments are made to the allottees in the month fol-
lowing the month for which the checkage is made against the account of the grantor,
i. e., if first payment of an allotment is November, 1910, the allottee will ordinarily
receive the first installment on said allotment in December, probably before the 10th.
33. Commanding officers of marines afloat or at stations paid by a naval pay officer
will report monthly on the form provided (N. M. 0. 660) to the officer in charge of the
paymaster's department, all allotments of officers and enlisted men registered during
the month by the pay officer of the ship or station.

.
be notified in order that payment may be stopped. Notification should give date,
number, amount and depository on which drawn and such further relevant informa-
tion as is available. This subject, and the issuance of duplicate checks, is covered
by article 1320, United States Navy Regulations, 1909. Upon request, paymasters
of the Marine Corps will furnish blanks and such further information as may be neces-
sary regarding the issuance of duplicate checks.

CONTINUOUS- SERVICE PAY.

80. The act of May 11, 1908, makes the following provisions for continuous-service
pay:
"That hereafter any soldier honorably discharged at the termination of an enlist-
ment period who reenlists within three months thereafter shall be entitled to contin-
uous-service pay as herein provided, which shall be in addition to the initial pay
provided for in this act and shall be as follows, namely: For those whose initial pay
16 CONTINUOUS-SEKVIOE PAY.
as provided herein is thirty-six dollars or more an increase of four dollars monthly
pay for and during the second enlistment, and a further increase of four dollars for
and during each subsequent enlistment up to and including the seventh, after which
the pay shall remain as in the seventh enlistment. For those whose initial pay as
provided for herein is eighteen, twenty-one, twenty-four, or thirty dollars, an increase
of three dollars monthly pay for and during the second enlistment, and a further
increase of three dollars for and during each subsequent enlistment up to and includ-
ing the seventh, after which the pay shall remain as in the seventh enlistment. For
those whose initial pay as provided for herein is fifteen and sixteen dollars, an increase
of three dollars monthly pay for and during the second and third enlistments each,
and a further increase of one dollar for and during each subsequent enlistment up
to and including the seventh, after which the pay shall remain as in the seventh
enlistment: Provided, That hereafter any soldier honorably discharged at the ter-
mination of his first or any succeeding enlistment period who reenlists after the
expiration of three months shall be regarded as in his second enlistment; that an
enlistment shall not be regarded as complete until the soldier shall have made good
any time lost during an enlistment period by unauthorized absences exceedinir one
day, but any soldier who receives an honorable discharge for the convenience of the
Government after having served more than half of his enlistment shall be considered
as having served an enlistment period within the meaning of this act; that the pres-
ent enlistment period of men now in service shall be determined by the number of
years continuous service they have had at the date of approval of this act, under
existing laws, counting three years to an enlistment, and the former service entitling
an enlisted man to reenlisted pay under existing laws shall be counted as one enlist-
ment period."
81. As the periodof enlistment in the Army is for three years, whereas the period
of enlistment in the Marine Corps is for four years, it has been held by the Comp-
troller of the Treasury that a new-enlistment period in the Marine Corps begins after a
continuous service of three years without regard to discharge or reenlistment, except,
that men must remain continuously in the service.
82. In computing service of marines for purposes of pay, only service in the Army
and Marine Corps will be counted. The law does not authorize counting of Navy
service in the Army or Marine Corps in the case of enlisted men.
83. Service in the Army rendered subsequent to May 11, 1908, can not be counted
for the purpose of computing pay, without regard to reenlistment. Service rendered
on and after May H, 1908, is to be coimted by enlistment periods, and enlistment
periods are determined by discharge and reenlistment. The enlistment period of a
soldier in the service on the date of the approval of the act, having been determined
under the rule prescribed in said act, it continues until his discharge at the termina-
tion of the enlistment period in which he was found to be serving. However, a
soldier who enlisted prior to May 11, 1908, is entitled to be discharged three years
from date of enlistment without making good time lost by absence without leave.
Such date marks the termination of an enlistment period, and upon
of discharge
reenlistment within three months he is entitled to the pay of the next enlistment
period. This method of computing enlistment periods subsequent to May 11, 1908,
applies only to Army service, but a soldier is entitled, upon enlisting in the Marine
Corps, to receive the same pay as he would have received if he had reenlisted in
the Army.
84 . Time held in the service (either Army or Marine Corps) beyond expiration of
enlistment for the convenience of the Government prior to May 11, 1908, may be
counted in computing the continuous service of a marine, but time so held subsequent
to that date can not be counted.
85. A man who reenters the service on or after May 12, 1908, after having remained
out more than three months, is entitled to the pay of the second enlistment period but ;
CONTINUOUS-SERVICE PAY. 17
aman wto completed one or more enlistments that did not entitle him to reenlist-
ment pay, and reentered the service on or before May 11, 1908, having remained out
over three months, is not entitled to credit for his former service.
86. The enlistment from which a man is discharged by purchase can not be counted
as an enlistnient period upon his reenlistment within three months but may be counted
in determining the number of years of his continuous service at the date of the passage
of the act.
87. Time served prior to a discharge, which is other than honorable, can not be
considered in determining a man's status for pay purposes in a subsequent enlistment,
except that in determining the enlistment period of a man in service (or construc-
tively in service)on May 11, 1908, credit for an additional enlistment period may be
allowed for service which entitled him to "reenlisted (class 3) pay" and which was
terminated by other than an honorable discharge, provided such discharge was not
by sentence of court-martial.
88. Any enlisted man in service on May 11, 1908, who had prior service entitling
him to reenlisted (class .3) pay is entitled to credit for one enlistment period on ac-
count of such service regardless of whether, on May 11, 1908, he was in a status of
"entitled to reenlisted (class 3) pay" or in a status of a certain year of continuous
service. Any soldier who completed at least five years of continuous service which
included an honorable discharge and reenlistment and who then remained out of
service over three months became entitled to "reenlisted (class 3) pay" under the
laws in force prior to May 11, 1908.
89. An enlisted man who reenlisted
after the approval of the act of May 11, 1908,
within three months from an honorable discharge at the termination of an enlistment
period prior to the passage of the act is entitled to have his service counted as con-
tinuous within the meaning of the provisions of said act granting continuous-service
pay. He is entitled to credit, in computing his continuous-service pay, for as many
enlistment periods served as is found by dividing the time actually served (continu-
ously) by three. One enlistment period should be added for any prior service which
.entitled him For example: If the soldier, on discharge,
to reenlisted (class 3) pay.
had eight years continuous service, he would on reenlistment be entitled to pay of
of
the third enlistment period. If, prior to the commencement of such continuous
service, he had service which entitled him to reenlisted (class 3) pay, he would be
entitled to pay of the fourth enlistment period.
90. An enlisted man discharged by purchase and reenlisted within three months
is not entitled to credit for the service for the time served in the enlistment termi-
nated by purchase. Under such reenlistment he takes up the thread of the enlist-
ment period in which he was serving at the date of discharge by purchase.
91. Reenlistments can not be antedated so as to place marines within the three-
months' limit for purposes of conDinuous-service pay. The benefit can only be
obtained by actual reenlistment before the expiration of three months. In comput-
ing the period of three months the day of discharge should be excluded.
92. An enlisted man of the Marine Corps honorably discharged at the expiration
of his first enlistment of four years and who enlists in the Army within three months
thereafter is only entitled to pay of the second enlistment period.
93. An enlisted man honorably discharged for the convenience of the Govern-
ment after the completion of more than half of his enlistment, either before or after
May 11, 1908, who reenlists subsequent to May 11, 1908, after the expiration of three
months from the date of his discharore is entitled to be paid as of his second enlistment
period.
94.A marine serving in his first enlistment period on May 11, 1908, and discharged
for theconvenience of the Government before serving more than half of his enlistment
(or by purchase before completing his enlistment) is entitled, should he again enter
the service before or after the expiration of three months from the date of discharge,

to pay of the first enlistment period only, regardless of the fact that prior to the
commencement of the continuous service which placed him in his first period on
May he had served a complete enli3tment period.
11, 1903,
95. An man discharged from a five-year enlistment in the Army, under
enlisted
the provisions of the act of June 16, 1890, after serving three years and three months,
was not discharged at the termination of an enlistment period within the meaning of
the act of May 11, 1908, and upon reenlistment after May 11, 1908, is not entitled to
count such service so as to place him in his second enlistment period.
96. Any soldier honorably discharged at the termination of his first or any succeed-
ing enlistment period who reenlists after the expiration of three months shall be
regarded as in his second enlistment. (Act May 11, 1908.) An enlisted man hon-
orably discharged or mustered out of service as a member of the Volunteer service
organized under the act of March 2, 1899, can not be viewed as having been discharged
at the termination of an enlistment period. This applies equally to enlisted men of
Volunteers organized under the act of April 23, 1898.
97. The second leader of the Marine Band is entitled to the continuous service pay
of a regimental sergeant major. The drum major is entitled to the continuous service
pay of a first sergeant. The first and second class musicians of the band are not en-
titled to continuous service pay.
98. Gunnery sergeants are allowed the continuous service pay of a first sergeant.
99. Men in service at the time of the approval of the act of May 11, 1908, are entitled
to be paid for the remainder of the enlistment period in which they were serving on
that date, at the old or new rate of pay, whichever works to their advantage.
100. "Hereafter an enlistment shall not be regarded as complete until the soldier
shall have made good any time lost during an enlistment period by unauthorized
absences exceeding one day, but any soldier who receives an honorable discharge for
the convenience of the Government after having served more than half of his enlist-
ment shall be considered as having served an enlistment period within the meaning
act."— ^ci May 11, 1908.
of this
The requirement for making good time absent without leave applies oiily to men
enlisting on or after May 11, 1908.
101. Time served in fraudulent enlistment can not be counted in computation of
service pay unless the Government waives the objection and allows the contract to
stand.
102. Enlisted men of the Regular Army who served as commissioned
officers, United
States Volunteers, organized in 1898 and Rico Regiment or
1899, or in the Porto
Philippine Scouts on or before March 2, 1903, and who upon their muster out returned
to the ransk of the Regular Army, shall have such service counted as if it had been
rendered as enlisted men, and be entitled to all continuous service pay. Act March
g, 190S.
103. The above was made applicable to all service as commissioned officers with
Philippine Scouts by the act of June 12, 1906. The enlistment period of a man who
has enlisted within three months from the date of his discharge as a commissioned
officer of Philippine Scouts is determined by dividing his total continuous service at
date of discharge by three, adding an additional enlistment period for any prior
service which entitled him to "reenlisted (class 3) pay." For example: If the officer
on discharge had eight years of continuous service he would, on reenlistment, be
entitled to pay of the third enlistment period. If prior to the commencement of
such continuous service he had service which entitled him to reenlisted pay he would
be placed in his fourth enlistment period.
104. Those men who have been honorably discharged from the Marine Corps and
enlisted in the Army within the time prescribed by law for that purpose are regarded
as having been continuously in the service and entitled to all the advantages it confers
under the laws regulating the subject.

paymaster settling said rolls during the whole period covered by the credit, and pro-
vided further that satisfactory evidence is produced to show that the claimant has not
been settled with by the office of the Auditor for the Navy Department, and has no
pending claim on file with that office. Differences accruing while the man was carried
on other rolls than the paymaster settling the rolls must be made the subject of claim
on the auditor.
107. Where credits are entered on payrolls by commanding officers of posts on
orders or other supporting evidence (such as back credits for qualification as marks-
man, sharpshooter, or expert rifleman, prizes for excellence in small-arms target
practice, bounty, etc.), notation as to the nature of the credit should be made over
the item entered in the column "Miscellaneous credits," and under "Remarks"

par. 45.
111. Upon receipt of a request for credit, record of the same should be made in
such form as to insure entry on the current pay roll. Requests for credit should not
be held until the roll has been prepared and submitted, but should be noted imme-
diately on the card of the man to be credited. When such request is received direct
from a naval pay officer both copies will be promptly forwarded to the paymaster
of the Marine Corps having the accounts, information being furnished that the credit
requested has been made in the account of the man concerned. When such requests
are received in single copy from or through the paymaster carrying the accounts, such
copy will be returned similarly indorsed.
of 24 or more consecutive hours, whether authorized or unauthorized, should be
entered under "Remarks" on pay rolls, and no credit for the additional pay for such
days of absence should be given. Similarly, if for any part of the period for which
the credit is to be given the man in question failed, for any reason, actually to perform
the duty, no credit for back pay for such days will be given.—(See par. 16.

131 When a marine is to be discharged by reason of expiration of enlistment his
.
pay accounts (Form N. M. C. 90. revised, statement closing account for settlement) and
clothing accounts (N. M. 0. 146) will be prepared to include the day of discharge and
forwarded to the proper paymaster in ample time to enable him to prepare and forward
final settlements so as to reach the post prior to the date of expiration of the man's
enlistment.
132 Immediately a man is recommended for discharge a statement closing account
. ,
for settlement (N. M. C. 90) will, except where the man is carried by a naval pay-
master, be submitted by the officer keeping the pay rolls, to the proper paymaster of
the corps, in which statement there will be credited or debited the amount then due
or overdrawn on account of clothing. A settlement of the clothing account on N. M. C.
146, certified by the post quartermaster, or other officer keeping the clothing roll,
supporting this sum, must accompany N. M. C. 90. Where accounts of marines on sea
or shore duty are carried by naval pay officers, N. M. C. 90 and N. M. C. 146, prepared
asabove indicated, but extended to include the date of discharge, will be furnished

per cent, as the case may be, diu:ing such absence, provided same (in the case of an
officer) is not in excess of the leave to which he may be entitled, but the right to the
increased pay of both officers and men ceases upon arrival in the United States.
157. The increased pay for foreign shore service in the case of officers and enlisted
men is computed on pay, including longevity pay (as distinguished from allowances),
to which such officers and enlisted men are entitled, and includes (in the case of an

thereafter except upon a like increase. When a new detail is made on an interme-
diate day of the month to fill the place of a man whose detail is discontinued for any
cause, the name of the man whose place he takes will be shown under "Remarks"
on the voucher (e. g., vice John Doe) opposite the name of the man so detailed.
178. In cases of transfer of mess sergeants, cooks, or messmen, where the increased
pay has not been credited on current rolls, the dates of beginning and ending of the
detail will be shown in the service record book and proper credit made therefor on
the next pay roll of the post to which the soldier is transferred.

tuity, additional pay for messmen and cooks, first, second, third, or fourth class, will
be iiicluded therein, provided the man in question was actually performing the duty
and receiving additional pay therefor at the time of discharge, or on day of death from
wounds or disease in line of duty.

PAY ROLLS.
210. Pay rolls will be prepared at the endof each month and promptly submitted
to the paymaster carrying the accounts. The instructions for the preparation of pay
rolls appearing inside the cover of each pay roll will be carefully followed. These
instructions and the sample accounts in this manual should be a sufficient guide for
the proper handling of all accounts.
211. Upon the receipt of the original roll from the paymaster to whom it has been
rendered, the differences noted in the paymaster's statement on the original roll will
be entered on the memorandum roll of the post.
212. Vouchers of every description will be prepared in black ink only. Correc-
tionsmade by the paymaster will be noted in red ink.

after the payment, will be signed by the witnessing officer.
214. Care will betaken to avoid stamping as "Paid" the accounts of men not pres-
ent at the pay table. No man's account should be so marked until the money is
actually turned over to him.

215. Before returning the original roll to the paymaster after the payment has been
completed as far as practicable, the record of settlement in service record book should
be immediately made and the roll be gone over carefully to see that those accounts
marked "Not paid" are accounted for on form N. M. C. 430, in returning the amount
of the refund from the roll. Where men die, desert, or are transferred between the
time of the signing of the roll and receipt of funds from the paymaster, the amounts
due such men will be refunded to the paymaster, without deductions, as soon as
practicable after the command has been paid. Their accounts as shown on the roll
will be stamped "Not paid."
216. The clerk in charge of the preparation of the pay rolls of a post, company or
detachment, will be provided with suitable space in the files for all retained papers

copy of requests for checkages for loss of Government property or for overdrawn
clothing.
218. All checkages on a roll on account of allotments will be entered in the column
headed "Miscellaneous checkages" and above the amount will be entered the word
"Allotment." Over the name of the grantor on each pay roll will be entered the
word "allotment" and the name of the station or ship where the allotment was

223. Credit for three months' bounty on reenlistment should be entered on pay
rolls in the column "Miscellaneous credits'' and "Remarks" on rolls will contain
complete information supporting such credits, i. e., "Hon. dis. at (station) or on board

such bounties, "Remarks" on pay rolls should show, in addition to the above data,
the kind of service for the performance of which such additional compensation was
being received.
224. Notice of the day and hour on which the pay roll will be ready for signature
by the men should be posted on the bulletin board, so that each member of the com-
mand, whose duties permit, may present himself, at the time and place designated,
to sign the roll. The forwarding of the completed pay roll to the paymaster for set-
tlement should not be delayed to await the signature of such men of the command
as fail, without valid excuse, to report at the proper time to sign the roll. The amounts
due such men should be left in the "Due and unpaid " column, and a notation should
be entered in the column of "Remarks'' briefly stating the reason for lack of signa-
ture. If subsequent to the transmission of the roll it should be ascertained that the
signature of a member of the command has been omitted, without fault on his part,
the facts should be reported to the paymaster with recommendation that, if prac-
ticable, the man be paid by individual check.

service record books, and writing thereover the name of the post exchange in whose
favor and to whose credit the checkage is made.
(3) Signatures on rolls. —
In all the above cases (except deserters and dead men) the
signing of the pay roll by the men concerned will be regarded as sufficient acknowl-
edgment of the correctness of their indebtedness to the post exchange as there stated,
and will further be considered as sufficient voucher therefor to authorize payment
thereof by the pajrmaster concerned without further certification or voucher. In
order to insure prompt settlement with the exchange in the cases of men who are not
to be paid for any cause, the signatiires of such men "for post exchange only" should
be obtained. Where such cases appear the words quoted above will be stamped in the
"Due and paid" column opposite the signatures, to show that the same does no*
purport to be a receipt for any money shown to be due on the rolls.
(4) When signatures can not be obtained. —^Where it is impracticable to procure sig-
natures on rolls, as in the cases of dead men and deserters, there will be filed with the
rollon which checkages appear, the original evidence (chits, checks, or memoranda of
whatever character) as signed by the men concerned, corroborating the amount so
claimed. If such evidence can not be filed, a certificate by an officer, other than the
post-exchange officer, showing the reason why such original evidence is not obtainable,
and further stating that the records show that such indebtedness actually exists, in the
amount stated in each case, will be filed with the current roll upon which checkages
appear. The accounts of dead men and deserters, as closed on form N. M. C. 90, for
transfer to the Auditor for the Navy Department and the deserters' roll, respectively,
will include checkages to the amount of their indebtedness to the post exchange as
shown on the current pay roll.
(5) Payment of amounts checked on rolls of shore
stations. —
The paymaster settling the
rolls of marines at any shore station is charged with payment, to the several exchanges
in whose favor checkages are made, of all properly authorized indebtednesses that
appear on his rolls, except those of dead men. No payments will, however, be made
in the cases of men joining by transfer from ships, whose accounts show a checkage in
favor of a post exchange, as settlement of such indebtedness is provided for in para-
graph 3 of these instructions.
(6) Dead men.—The paymaster not being authorized by law or regulations to settle
the accounts of dead men, the post exchange officer should prepare and transmit, along
with the roll with which the evidence called for in paragraph 4 is filed and on which the
indebtedness is charged, a formal claim on the Auditor for the Navy Department for
42 POST EXCHANGE INSTEUCTION IN DETAIL.
the amount shown due the exchange on account of dead men, reference therein being
made by name and amount to each individual deceased debtor, as well as to the roll,
by organization and month, on which the checkage appears.
262. From men discharged or retired, in cash, and on final settlement, as follows:
(1) Where the indebtedness is due the exchange of the command, personal collections, in
cash, will be made by the post exchange officer at the time of final settlement.
(2) Where the indebtedness is due the exchange of other commands, by charging the
indebtedness on the account as closed for discharge (N. M. C. 90), and noting opposite
thereto the name of the post exchange to which the money is due.
263. Monthly, on post-exchange vouchers prepared by the post-exchange officer,
on approved forms, in the caae of men transferred to ships, as follows:
—
(1) Men transferred to ships. By noting in the service record book, at the time of
transfer, in the space provided, the amount of the indebtedness to be checked on the
next succeeding pay roll of the organization to which transferred, and including the
same with the men's signature of acknowledgment thereon, on the usual monthly
pOst-exchange voucher for payment by the pay officer of the station from which the
men are transferred.
(2) —
To be settled upon receipt. When properly prepared, this class of vouchers will
be settled by paymasters upon receipt of the same; the checkages on pay rolls, how-
ever, to be verified from ships' rolls by the office in charge of the paymaster's depart-
ment at the time of his monthly analysis of accounts.
(3) ChecTcages not finally made.— Where in any such case it develops that checkage
has not, and can not finally be made against the soldier's account, instructions will be
issued from time to time by the officer in charge to the paymaster concerned to make
proper deduction in subsequent settlements with the proper post exchange.
(4) Men joining by transfer who are indebted to other exchanges (as shown by their serv-
ice record books), and who are transferred to a ship before the amount has been
checked against then- pay on the rolls of a shore station, will be required to sign the
usual voucher in favor of the proper post exchange at the time of transfer to sea; the
certificate as to genuineness of signatures to be signed by the commanding officer of
the post from which transferred to sea, and the voucher transmitted, with proper
explanation, to the exchange concerned for further certification, approval, and col-
lection at the post to which the money is due.
(5) At stations where payments are made by naval pay officers, a third copy of the post-
exchange voucher covering men transferred to ships will be prepared by the proper
marine officer, revised and certified to agree with the original as paid by the paymaster,
and transmitted with the third copy of pay roll, as prescribed by regulations, to the
officer in charge of the paymaster's department. United States Marine Corps.

as requiredby paragraph 2 (5), Marine Corps Orders No. 8 (series 1912).

(6) In the event of the discharge of a marine aboard ship the pay officer will also
prepare final settlements on the Marine Corps Form N. M. C. 423, using the data

will be forwarded, as provided in paragraph 4 hereof.
(9) The pay rolls of marines will be filed with the pay officer's accounts for the
period in which the settlement was made, e. g., the pay roll covering the period from
September 1 to 30, being paid under the regulations on October 5, would be a voucher
to the account for the second quartar, and should be filed therewith.
(10) In the case of maiines transferred to a shore station within the continental
limits of the United States, when it is impracticable for the pay officer to make
advance charges for allotments as provided for by paragraph 1094, United States Navy

enlistment, and the former service entitling an enlisted man to reenlisted pay under
existing laws shall be counted as one enlistment period."
(6) The only method which will place the enlisted men of the Army and Marine
Corps on as nearly an equal footing as possible and give effect to section 1612 of the
Revised Statutes as far as possible in connection with the requirements of the act of

Corps begins after a continuous service of three years without regard to discharge and
reenlistment, except that men must remain continuously in the service. Compt.
Dec, Aug. 8, 1908.
(c) In computing continuous service of marines for purpose of pay, only service in

1908, above mentioned, to count three years to an enlistment for all continuous service,
except the time a soldier is held in service beyond the expiration of his enlistment

whether prior or subsequent to May 11, 1908, and in addition thereto to count one
enlistment period for former service entitling the soldier to reenlistment (class 3)
pay. Army service prior to May 11, 1908, is also counted on the same basis; but in
counting Army service subsequent to May 11, 1908, for a man who has enlisted in
the Marine Corps from the Army, such Army service should be counted on the basis of
a full enlistment period, except as otherwise provided, with an honorable discharge
and reenlistment within the proper time, i. e., an army soldier is entitled upon enlist-
ing in the Marine Corps to receive the same pay as he would have received if he had
reenlisted in the Army.^ Comp. Dec, Aug. 8, 1908; Army Pay Manual, 58S, note 2,
and Comp. Dec, June 28, 1909, case Boholsky.
(d) The provisions of the act of May 11, 1908, above mentioned, apply to soldiers
reenlisting after May 11, 1908, who were honorably discharged at the termination of
an enlistment period prior to the passage of said act, as well as to soldiers so reenlisting
who were honorably discharged after the passage of said act. Comp. June 11, 1908.
(e) A soldier who reenters the service on or after May 12, 1908, after having remained
out more than three months, is entitled to the pay of the second enlistment; but a
soldier who completed one or more enlistments that did not entitle him to reenlistment
pay, and reentered the service on or before May 11, 1908, having remained out over
three months, is not entitled to credit for his former service.
(/) The second leader Marine Band is entitled to the continuous service pay
of the
of a regimental sergeant major. The first and second class musicians of the band are
not allowed continuous service pay. See sec. 24, personnel act. Mar. S, 1899, 5 Comp.,

departure from said States to the date of return thereto" (both dates inclusive).
